About The Grumpy Baker

Bilpin, NSW, Australia

The Grumpy Baker was created in 2002 by Michael Cthurmer Owner-operator as a Café/Retail Bakery in Oxford Street, Darlinghurst. Finding a niche in the market for good, old fashioned bread, particularly artisan sourdough that was more “cheesy” and less of a “vinegar” starter, he set out to conquer the bread world.

The Grumpy Baker had outgrown its current premises, expanded into the wholesale market (with a repertoire of clients ranging from top restaurants, cruise ships, hotels, coffee shops and catering companies), and had moved into a commercial factory in Leichhardt and received our HACCP accreditation.

The range of breads is now sold at numerous retail outlets throughout Sydney as well as Paddington Markets every Saturday and we are committed to providing our customers with high quality products that really have been lovingly hand-crafted.
